Friends vs. The Office | Rotten Tomatoes

Are you a Rachel or a Monica? A Michael or a Dwight? Or – dear god no – maybe you’re a… Creed? Few modern sitcoms have ingrained themselves in the culture quite like ‘Friends’ and ‘The Office,’ the smash NBC comedies that made stars of their casts, reshaped TV for the future, and whose afterlife has been long and storied. (Yes, we’re finally getting a ‘Friends’ reunion, of sorts.) But which is the ULTIMATE sitcom out of these two? That’s what we’re finding out in the latest episode of ‘Vs.’, in which we pit six New Yorkers against a gaggle of Scrantonians and see who comes out on top in terms of ratings, Tomatometer score, quality of characters, and a special wild card round. As ever, if you disagree with the result, have at us in the comments. Or better yet, have at Rotten Tomatoes contributing editor Mark Ellis – that’s him hosting the show.
